About Stephanie
Stephanie Borgono is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and codependency concerns. Her approach focuses on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague promises.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns that drain them. She helps clients name where they give too much, practice saying no, and manage overwhelming emotions. Sessions often include skill-building for better communication and coping with life changes.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and track progress week to week.
Stephanie has experience with mood and anxiety concerns, relationship strain, and transitions such as separation or major life shifts. She also supports people dealing with body image, impulsivity, and problems tied to neurodiversity or intellectual disability. She uses practical techniques aimed at everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English from her New Jersey practice. The process typically begins by identifying a few priorities, trying small changes, and adjusting what helps. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions teach concrete skills for anxiety, low mood, and impulsive reactions.She also brings Mindfulness Therapy into sessions with short attention and breathing exercises. Those practices aim to reduce reactivity and improve grounding during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change.
The site notes how to get started, but the therapist's specific online session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Ask about available session options when you schedule the first meeting.
